I was uber excited again for the Eid Al Fitr (August 19, 2012) which marks the end of the 30 day fasting of Muslims so few days ahead of time my friend and I have decided to celebrate the holiday in the city of Riyadh. Could there be any better place to celebrate it than the beautiful capital city?
I have been to Riyadh before but its definitely more adventurous this time. On this particular trip I pushed myself to do something risky and exciting. On my visit last year we've passed by the rocky mountains of Wadi Laban and I just fell in love with the place. This is exactly where I would love to have a photoshoot. It looks like a scene on a sci-fi movie. I'm thankful to my friends for making it happen.
It was around 7:00 in the morning when we arrived at the venue feeling conditioned and very positive climbing the peek easily. However, we haven't even reached half of the goal and we were already screeching to death. The scorching heat of the sun and our lack of preparation had beaten us down. It might have helped if there was a cute guy on top and I would crawl until my last breathe just to reach it. We were not disappointed though as the place has a vast beautiful and breathtaking view to offer.
Avoiding possible circumstances that might put us in trouble, we sought for place to avoid attention from the drivers, residents and of course the police who constantly patrols around the clock.

I thought it is best to be in an Arab-nomad kind of look to match the beautiful rocky scenery. The Arab culture is as vibrant and colorful as any culture from different parts of the world.
Most of the pieces you find on the this look are from Splash. From the scarf which served as a turban and the scarf which I tied around my waist as a belt to my shirt. I love how the mixing of the colors turned out.
I hope you like it guys! 'Til next time! Beso!
